Hello Elaine,

As I learn more about leather I will be happy to post more information and pictures.  I have very little experience with leather or Millinery work so far.  I have only really worked with vegetable tanned cow leather so far.  I enjoy it allot because I can hand dye and shape it easily.  Being in the USA I hadn't even thought of using Kangaroo leather.  I will have to see what the pricing is compared to cow and pig leather. 

Thanks,

Brian

Dear Elaine, a special thanks from Brazil.

I also hope to make myself useful and deserve every learning class. The hardest part will be finding the right instruments for work. But let's think positively and face problems when they really appear, right?

Thank you very much for your welcome.  I am very lucky.  She and her seamstresses taught me a great deal.  I'm in the process of moving so you may not hear much from me until resettled, but I am looking forward to getting back to work soon!!

Thank you for the welcome Elaine!

Ciao Elaine,

then is there hope for me?

thank you very much for the time you have dedicated to my problem ....

Please let me know when I can start with the lesson.

I would think the form of felt hat, because I have some knowledge on the subject.

thank you very much

Thanks for welcoming me to Hat Academy. Great website for milliners to communicate and get ideas, as well as learn some new skills. glad you liked my profile pic. I actually made the hat I'm wearing.

Thank you Elaine for your lovely welcome to Hat Academy...I'm so happy to be a part of this wonderful millinery website you passionately created.  I hope to learn more about finely tuning my art and sharing with other hat lovers out there.  I know we are all grateful to you for giving us the opportunity to set our creative wings into graceful flight...that is a beautiful gift to our artistic souls...

Thank you so much for the warm welcome and all the helpful tips. I'm really impressed so far with all of the great resources and talented people here. I look forward to learning and sharing with you all!

Ciao Elaine,

Hi Elaine, Thank you very much.  I'm so glad I found your site and I was thrilled to learn you are practically a neighbour. :)  My memory does not serve me well in relation to the teachers at TAFE in 83/84.  To be honest, I can only remember Gail (Patternmaking, I think) and of course the lovely Nerida (Head of Fashion).  I must dig up my records as I am curious about that now.  I look forward to a long and fruitful association with the Hat Academy.  Thanks again, Elaine

That is fabulous news!  I tried to enrol in a TAFE skillset which included veils and fascinators but unfortunately there hasn't been sufficient interest to start a class in the last 18 months.  I've been making veils from what I learned through work experience  but I would be really interested in your classes on veils, headpieces, cocktail hats etc.  I'll look forward to those.  

Hello. Still finding my way around here! Am off to that op shop tomorrow in the hopes that hat block is still there. Fingers crossed!

Thanks Elaine.  That sounds most encouraging.  I made a birdcage veil for a wedding last April.  Lots of trial and error but I think the end result was good and the bride was happy.  However, I really look forward to learning your methods.  Yes, I will definitely stay in touch.
